Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will leave administration amid misconduct allegations
The former Oregon congresswoman is the third member of Trump’s Cabinet -- all women -- to step down during his second term.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/04/20/chavez-deremer-leaves-cabinet/

Accusations that Chavez-DeRemer had engaged in misconduct, including personal travel during taxpayer-funded trips, surfaced in a complaint filed with the Labor Department’s inspector general that was first reported by the New York Post. The complaint led to the suspension of several top aides and surfaced sexual misconduct allegations against Chavez-DeRemer’s husband, Shawn DeRemer.
